At three o'clock in the morning, Yang Lin pushed open the door and walked out. He was really tired from traveling these past few days. He woke up naturally after falling asleep and felt very comfortable.
The guards outside the door are all ready and are eating breakfast on the small table in the hotel.
Yang Lin walked over and saw a shop owner who was serving a bowl of porridge attentively. He was escorted by so many officials. He didn't know which heir apparent of the Western Army it was. Even if it was the best restaurant in Jingzhao Mansion, he wouldn't dare to offend him.
After finishing the drink, Lu Qian said with a smile: "Young Zai, the officials from Chang'an City outside the door have sent someone to pick you up again. Jingzhao Mansion is General Yao Gu's family, and his nephew also wants to entertain the Young Zai."
The Western Army is an important piece on Yang Lin's chessboard. The Yao family is one of the four generals of the Western Army. Now Zhong Shidao is getting old. Among the next generation of Western Army generals, Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong are the most important.
headed by.
"Let's go to Yao Mansion for a good meal." Yang Lin was very generous. After all, he was ready to rest in Chang'an City for three days, so he had plenty of time.
Yao Pingyi was bored and waited outside. Finally, when Yang Lin came out, he secretly cursed him for being able to sleep.
This son of an aristocratic family didn't know that Yang Shaozai came from Hehuang. He was exhausted and exhausted all the way. He thought he was just meandering all the way here.
Seeing the crowd surrounding a man coming out, Yao Pingyi guessed that this was the Shao Zai, so he quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Yao Pingyi, the defense envoy of the Jingzhao Mansion, has met the Shao Zai."
Yang Lin nodded and said, "Thank you for your work. Please lead the way."
Since it was a family banquet, of course there were not so many rules. A banquet was set up in the room. Since Yao Gu was no longer around, his adopted son and nephew would entertain the guests.
Seeing Yao Pingzhong, Yang Lin felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are also a descendant of the Yao family. From now on, you must remember not to do anything that violates laws and disciplines."
Yao Pingzhong's eyes were not his eyes and his nose was not his nose. He sighed deeply and then replied.
Yao Pingyi was very nervous. He was a serious son of the Yao family, and he was more upright than his second uncle. It was his first time to receive such a big official, so he immediately cheered up and behaved as a guest.
Yang Lin sat at the top and said with a smile: "Although I am a young official, I like to keep myself clean, and the wine house is also to test the local customs.
Except for some shortcomings, Jingzhao Mansion is pretty good, and it’s all the work of the Yao family.”
Yao Pingzhong's talk about making Yang Lin look good was purely lip service. If he actually saw him, he could only drink with him.
After all, the first level of official rank is overwhelming, but this person is seven or eight levels higher, and he is still their backer in the court.
It really offended him. Not to mention that this guy had a bad reputation. He was said to be very domineering, but even with his adoptive father, he had to fight hard against him.
The generals of the Western Army are all wealthy people, extremely rich. After all, they have accumulated it over several generations, and it is not a big deal to spend extravagantly. When the kind returned to the barbarians in Zhaodefang, there were also kind family members who kept bringing some wealth and money with them.
I was afraid that she would be wronged.
When the wine was half drunk, Yao Pingyi began to talk about Tong Guan's defeat in the summer. After drinking some wine, Yao Pingyi became a little forgetful and cried out for his second brother.
When Yang Lin heard that there was such a thing, he never thought that this gambler was still a general?
However, this kind of thing cannot be false, it should be true, otherwise they would not dare to brag about it in front of them.
Yang Lin immediately smiled and said: "I cherish heroes the most. Since you have been punished for your merits, I can't say that I will vindicate Zhaoxue for you. If you really made such a great contribution, what reward do you want?"
Without thinking, Yao Pingzhong said loudly: "I often hear people say that officials who are elegant and suave are like gods. If they can meet the Holy One, the general will not feel wronged."
Damn, he is still Zhao Ji's little fanboy. No wonder he would risk offending Tong Guan and make such a request. Yang Lin smiled and said: "This is a simple matter. If you are willing, just come back to Bianliang with me."
Yao Pingzhong thought for a while and finally agreed. After all, he had always heard people talk about the grace of today's official families. Their temperaments were romantic and their minds were noble and unrestrained. It was a pity not to see them.
As a result, the atmosphere at the banquet became much better. Yang Lin and the second son of the Yao family talked and laughed calmly and felt at ease.
Yao Pingzhong was very aware of his own temperament, let go of his grudge, and suddenly became heroic when he spoke——
In the backyard of Yao Mansion, Mrs. Yao suddenly felt suspicious when she heard Ruizhu's report.
"They really get along?"
Ruizhu covered her lips and smiled: "Madam, if you don't believe it, just go and see for yourself."
Although Mrs. Yao is innocent and innocent, she also has some thoughts. After all, her husband died just after she got married, so she is inevitably a little sensitive.
So she loved the children left by her husband even more. Although they were not her biological children, she loved them even more than her biological children, just so that no one could find fault with them.
Now that Yao Pingyi was alone to receive such an important guest, she still felt uneasy, so she stood up and said, "Come on, take me with you. Let's take a look from behind the screen."
The two masters and servants tiptoed to the lobby and looked in through the screen. There was a brocade curtain next to it, which was isolated from the outside. It was indeed very harmonious.
I saw that my son was handling the situation appropriately, my nephew was laughing and chatting with no ill feelings, and there was a person in the hall who was handsome and behaved like a superior.
Mrs. Yao suddenly thought that she was a virtuous little widow who took her maid to peek at the man, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her face.
Thinking that it was all instigated by the little hoof next to her, she turned around and pinched Ruizhu bitterly, causing her to cry out in pain.
Mrs. Yao has a lovely and straightforward nature. She often does things based on her heart without thinking too much. To put it bluntly, she is a bit naive.
Yang Lin was close, and when he heard it, he turned around and saw that a gust of wind happened to blow out a gap in the gold-threaded Sichuan brocade curtain.
At a startling glance, I was astonished.
Mrs. Yao dragged Ruizhu back to the backyard, pouted and lectured her beautiful maid in the backyard. She had no idea that her sudden appearance had seduced the soul of the young master of the dynasty.
I was drinking very fragrant wine just now, but it felt bland and tasteless. A bite of golden, soft mutton was also tasteless.
She was in the backyard of the Yao Mansion, and she was obviously someone's concubine. It was a pity, a pity. Although Yang Lin was lustful, he was not a promiscuous man who had a wife and daughter, so he could only swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Yao Pingyi felt proud of the reception he received today and was quite proud of it. Seeing that Yang Lin was suddenly unhappy, he quickly said: "Young Zai, are you tired?"
Yang Lin's expression changed and he asked: "The Yao family is a wealthy family. Since it is a family banquet, why don't other people from your family come out?"
Before Yao Pingyi could speak, Yao Pingzhong said loudly: "My father and eldest brother are at the northwest border and have not been home for years. My third brother travels all over the country. My uncle left early. There are only two brothers in Chang'an who control the capital." The family property of the Yao family in Zhaofu. Other relatives are in the ancestral home of Sanyuan."
Speaking of his late father, Yao Pingyi's expression dimmed and he said, "Fortunately, my mother is still at home. After finishing the wine, I will go out to see the young master."
